Why California is a SHITHOLE

I'm not making this up.

California is a dump, a shithole and everyone in my family (in-laws) wants to move out, is moving out or did move out.

$958 BILLION Welfare, California Has Highest Poverty Rate In America As 60 Percent Baffles Democrats - Conservative Daily Post

According to the United States Census Bureau Supplemental Poverty Measure, California has the highest poverty rate in the country. One in five people in California are living in poverty and the state’s residents account for 33% of all those on welfare in the United States, despite the state only being 12% of the country’s population. The state spent $958 billion on welfare programs between 1992-2015. According to the study, 60% of Californians are jobless and living in poverty.

California is a sanctuary state and is often championing movements which find ways to grant protections and entitlements to immigrants at the expense of Americans. While an astronomical 30% of Americans in California are receiving means-tested welfare, this pales in comparison to the 55% rate of use by immigrant families consuming this type of welfare. The state is handing over tons of cash to foreign nationals at the expense of Americans.

One contributing factor to their high poverty levels is their lack of affordable housing. Housing in California has become increasingly out of reach for the middle class due to building regulations and space constraints. This has caused housing to consume far more of the average residents income than in other parts of the country, leaving them with less money for food, transportation, healthcare and other services.​

the reason its such a high poverty rate is a combination of three things.
1.everybody around the country the last several decades before our government made it the corrupt state it is today,wanted to move there.
2.people wont stop fucking each other and having kids.
3.the biggest reason of them all,a corrupt government that spans five corrupt administrations has been importing illegals into america and letting them live off the welfare you mentioned.

Thank god that the evil witch Hellery did not get elected or that would be continuing today.

Thank god that Trump got elected.He has been doing an excellent job of fixing that proble,too bad he is fighting a corrupt congress and cant do eveything he wants because if he could,he easily could fix the problem by the end of his first term but since he cant,it will take at least two terms for him to clean up the mess that five generations of presidents have left us who have all been puppets fo the elite serving them and the bankers instead of the people.

Cost of living is much more in California because of Silicon Valley.. The rich took over SF and many middle class and low class housing disappeared ..

Trickle down is a bunch of bullshit..

Californians are 33% of US on Welfare

Y'all have got to stop consuming propaganda, or if you insist on doing so, at least examine the data that must be used to support such outlandish claims as the onel in this thread's title. Just how ignorant must one be to not realize the title cannot possibly be correct.

• Some ~45M people receive welfare of some sort.
• For Californians to comprise one third of them, ~15M of them would have to be Californians.
• CA has population of ~39.25M.
• Where in the article the OP-er cites is cited the number of Californians who receive welfare? Nowhere. Indeed, reading that article, it's not possible to tell how its authors arrived at the percentages they note, let alone what raw numbers led to their arriving at them.

Even just eyeballing the SNAP Program's recipients by state (click the link), it's obvious that nowhere near one third of the ~45M total SNAP recipients are CA residents. Is there some other form of individual/household federal public assistance CA residents receive that accounts for the remaining ~24% that would be needed to get to the claimed 33%?


As goes welfare assistance by state, the states having the greatest proportion of recipients within any given state's population, as of 2015, the states having the greatest share of residents receiving public assistance were the one's noted below. FWIW, given CA's population of ~39.25M and having ~4M people who receive public assistance, the same measure for CA amounts to ~10%.

6. Louisiana

• Number of food stamp recipients: 877,340
• Percentage of the state’s population on food stamps: 18.87%
• Total cost of just these benefits alone (That is, how much do just the money on those EBT cards cost the state?): Around $108.22 million
• Cost of benefits alone per capita in this state: $23.27

5. West Virginia

• Number of food stamp recipients: 362,501
• Percentage of the state’s population on food stamps: 19.59%
• Total cost of just these benefits alone (That is, how much do just the money on those EBT cards cost the state?): Around $44.71 million
• Cost of benefits alone per capita in this state: $24.17 per person

4. Tennessee

• Number of food stamp recipients: Just over 1.31 million
• Percentage of the state’s population on food stamps: 20.04%
• Total cost of just these benefits alone (That is, how much do just the money on those EBT cards cost the state?): Around $161.9 million
• Cost of benefits alone per capita in this state: $24.72

3. Oregon

• Number of food stamp recipients: 802,190
• Percentage of the state’s population on food stamps: 20.21%
• Total cost of just these benefits alone (That is, how much do just the money on those EBT cards cost the state?): Around $98.96 million
• Cost of benefits alone per capita in this state: $24.92 per person

2. New Mexico

• Number of food stamp recipients: 430,622
• Percentage of the state’s population on food stamps: 20.65%
• Total cost of just these benefits alone (That is, how much do just the money on those EBT cards cost the state?): Around $53.12 million
• Cost of benefits alone per capita in this state: $25.47 per person

1. Mississippi

• Number of food stamp recipients: 656,871
• Percentage of the state’s population on food stamps: 21.94%
• Total cost of just these benefits alone (That is, how much do just the money on those EBT cards cost the state?): Around $81.03 million
• Estimated cost of benefits alone per capita in this state: $27.06 per person

You see like everyone here and i do mean Almost every single person doesnt give a shit about your indentitarian nonsense. You are just as bad as the regressives. Nothing about California being a shithole has to do with race it all is because of regressive Democrat policies.

You have to drill in a few levels but it is referenced throughout the article.

https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2016/demo/p60-258.pdf

Table 4 page 9. California at 20% of its population inpoverty using the Supplemental Poverty Measure and accounting for cost of living.



Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

It’s not as though California policymakers have neglected to wage war on poverty. Sacramento and local governments have spent massive amounts in the cause. Several state and municipal benefit programs overlap with one another; in some cases, individuals with incomes 200% above the poverty line receive benefits. California state and local governments spent nearly $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments and “other public welfare,” according to the Census Bureau. California, with 12% of the American population, is home today to about one in three of the nation’s welfare recipients....​

So it is not 33% of those in poverty, but 33% of those receiving public assistance of some fashion at one level of the government or another.

That is quite different and largely due to California's Open Borders policies and very generous welfare programs.

It’s too expensive in California for someone who does what they do for a living. People in California who work want to get paid a good wage. Republicans want a race to the bottom. They’d love to move our good paying jobs to the south but can those hicks do the work?

You are one arrogant fuck.

Do you think you are smarter that the smartest person in, say, Mississippi?

This should be good.

No because the smartest person in Mississippi isn’t from Mississippi their probably from Harvard or University of Michigan.

Not Mississippi state

Well if University of Michigan alumni so smart why is Detroit a shit hole?

We have big city problems. You guys just send your hick kids to our big cities to get jobs. Where are we going to send our urban kids? The city is where YOUR KIDS come to find work because there is no jobs in your hick town unless they want to work at Cracker Barrell or the Pigly Wiggly or Walmart.

Well that's a fucking lie..why would they go north when they know jobs are in the South at BMW , Volvo and all the rest why do you lie ass hole?

Of all the people working at the bmw plant how many are temp workers?

Eventually you Hicks will organize too.

Guess what, America has lots & lots of Americans in it. in fact every state is mainly populated by Americans, and every American state has things of beauty in it, from friendly people, ease of living, to fast paced & multi venue. Democrats Republicans, rich, poor, middle class. churches in every city, parks playgrounds, other humans live there. don't like there style don't go there, stay home work on improving your town your state. All states have problems. What the heck is the bashing about?????????????

• Which States Rely the Most on Federal Aid? - Tax Foundation - And this is from the decidedly right-wing Tax Foundation
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 2017’s Most & Least Federally Dependent States

And then there's this:

The American state with the biggest economy is California, which, in 2015, produced $2.44 trillion of economic output. Its GDP compares favourably to that of France, which produced $2.42 trillion during the same period. Particularly interesting to note is the fact that California has 6 million fewer workers than France, yet produced a little over its GDP. This suggests that, in productivity terms, the US outperforms its European cousins.

Even more interesting, if California were inserted into the world ranking by GDP according to country, it would come sixth – ahead of France, India, Italy and Brazil.

But California is not the only state with a strong economy. The US’s second-largest state by economy, Texas, has an output of $1.643 trillion, which sandwiches it between that of Brazil, with $1.64 trillion, and that of neighbouring Canada, at $1.552 trillion. Once again, that’s despite a smaller workforce: Brazil’s workers outnumber those of Texas by round 80 million, and Canada’s workers outnumber Texas’s by 6 million.

New York State came in third, with an output of $1.442 trillion, putting it ahead of South Korea, currently the world’s 11th-largest economy.​

​

(Source)​

Take a good look at that map and ask yourself how much of the U.S. GDP comes from any single so-called "red state" and then check the figures to see how many of them, not including Texas, it would take to equal CA's productivity.

The next time one cares to "rag" on CA, think about how much of CA's GDP go to provide services and protections the rest of the country, for the most part, could not otherwise afford. And yes, I'm talking to you "Macau," Montana, "Uzbekistan," Idaho, "Angola," Mississippi, "Costa Rica," South Dakota, and all the rest of you gun-toting "red-state" jackasses who'd not only look a gift horse in the mouth, but also shot it.
